Rick Perry Just Turned The Tables On The Liberals Who Indicted Him And Put His Mug Shot To Good Use

The recent felony indictments against Texas Gov. Rick Perry have sparked debate on both sides of the political spectrum. Accused of using a veto threat to compel District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign after she was arrested for drunk driving, Perry’s camp maintains that he was well within his authority to cut the proposed spending for a program over which her office presided.

Even a number of Perry’s detractors have since criticized the prosecution for pursuing the charges against him. Lanny Davis, the former special counsel for Bill Clinton, for example, urged fellow Democrats to remove themselves from this controversy, suggesting the entire ordeal could easily do more harm to their party than Perry and the GOP.

For the Republican’s political action committee, however, it seems the controversy has opened up a new fundraising opportunity.
